To Purchase Art Work Go
|
Art has always been an integral part
of my life... with the soul of the
artist being of sound importance in
the journey to create. The outcome
of this exploration has never been
easy to classify or categorize for
me,
and I hope it to stay that way for
the extent of my career. I feel the
medium, the chosen colors, tone,
value and surface should be changed
to accommodate each piece for
the desired outcome. Schooling often
has eluded me, yet I have always
studied, sketched and painted as a
normal daily routine no less
important than brushing my
teeth, and I have worked art into my
employment and life whenever
possible.
I try not to allow outside
influences to creep into my
work...only to realize that they are
what make up my finished product.
Anyone who knows me well has drawn
attention to the fact that my work
is symbolically
readable, and everyday issues,
trauma and triumphs are glaringly
evident
in the subjects and style.
For the artist within me to work
effectively, it must be automatic,
and these things can be tapped and
put into images that are created
from inside, and only upon
completion of the painting, can they
be read and seen by the viewer.
Music is in large part the backbone
of a lot of my pieces because I see
no difference between a painting and
brilliantly composed sound. The
shapes are there, the voice is
there, and it comes together with a
beginning and end to tell us a story
and let us escape the grind of
everyday life and stress. To
properly enjoy a painting, the
artist must be explored as well,
even the unmet, faceless artist we
will never know.
There is so much humanity in a
painting or a song.... the love I
have for creating and viewing art of
any kind will never go away.

Erin McFarland The
photo is a striking one
that shows Erin at one
with her work; it's
difficult to separate
the artist from the art.
It was this image that
inspired Nikon to create
something new for the
Nikon booth
at PMA this year. This
year there giving there
visitors a chance to
photograph an artist in
action. Each day, Erin
McFarland will work on a
new canvas in the
